The book is a crime/thriller (more thriller than crime) set in present-day London.

Participant will be required to write 25-30k, as well as critique other writers' work.

The participant will be writing mainly from the perspective of a North American character, so some knowledge of life in the US (as opposed to how the movies portray life in the US) would be an advantage.

Timeline: planning from now until December 31; writing from January 1 to March 31; polishing April 1 to June 30. Submitting to agents/publishers from June 1.

I know this is short notice, but this is due to a writer pulling out of the project. Their loss could be your gain!

More details available upon request. Please send samples of your writing (eg a short story) to garykemble@yahoo.com.au

Xavier Ricebury has given me permission to upload cc-licensed versions of his ZOMBIE07 designs -- there are two for t-shirts, and one for a bumper sticker (although the t-shirt ones can be repurposed for stickers, magnets, whatever really).

HorrorScope reports that some wag has set up a lobby group to champion the rights of the undead (or, at least, sell a few t-shirts).

Xavier Ricebury, who I once teamed up with to write a book, says:

"I know I'm trying to sell stuff, but on the other hand it is a lighter angle on the election, it's a link between current affairs and horror tropes, and then there's the Romero-esque subtext - many would say most of the electorate are zombies."
